The movie tells the story of legendary Israeli basketball coach Max Stoller, who became a national traitort, when he accepts the against-all-odds job to coach the totally hopeless West-German basketball team. Max always maintains that Germany - where he was born before the war - means nothing to him. But things aren't as simple as he refuses to speak German to the young players. When he discovers what happened to his own family in the 1940s - it is not what he had expected. And he will realize that one cannot run away forever from one's own past and demons.
